I didn’t want to get all nit-picky but I was about to email you to see if you were OK and maybe needed some neurological testing, as your grammar and punctuation was a tad…”off,” shall we say, from your usual effort. Then I read the post in full, and saw that a child wrote it. Then I questioned if I was OK, since as soon as I saw a cartoon, I was distracted like a kitten with a string and totally ignored the opening sentences.

Long story short, I still love you. And now I love your daughter. Her cartoon depiction of you is simply captivating. You look like you work your fingers to the bone night and day. Of course, your depiction also conjures up images of getting your milk from a goat and eating lots of potatoes and turnips.

That was awesome, definitely “listen to hardworking mom” is moral of story other morals include, when all else fails, dye hair pink and ride off on dinosaurs. Also another observation, moms dress way better postmortem. Additionally, I like that random shoe in the first shot, did she get it at zappos.com ?

Personally, I like the midstream hair makeover. Because what puts you more into a frame of mind for positive change after a murder spree than a new ‘do? Not to mention the punk rock name change. “Why and Bother.”

A few thoughts on this amazing piece of literature:
1. I love that the shoe represents the computer.
2. The jungle seems pretty fun.
3. I’m digging the title’s sarcasm. Unless it’s sincere and then it’s adorable.

I must thank the computer for bringing this tale to my life. Other than that, it’s been a pretty worthless endeavor having access to the world at my fingertips. Now, after reading this…the computer has redeemed its sorry self.

If this was written in my house, it would really be a reverse morality tale aimed at me for spending too much time on the computer. In fact, I felt a little attacked the entire time I read it. C’mon, Bella, I may not be the best mom but I haven’t freaking beheaded anyone for goodness’ sake! But then I looked closer. My computer doesn’t have high heels, so now I know it’s not about me. Phew.

You’re doing a good job. Your daughter knows that cutting off the heads of one’s children falls squarely in the “mean mom” camp. If you manage to also teach her “please” and to chew with her mouth closed, job well done.
